According to WHO 2008 report, 17.5 million or 30% of total deaths died from cardiovascular diseases, 7.6 million people died of coronary heart disease, 5.7 million from stroke. Today, small mammals such as mouse and rat are widely used to investigate the pathogenesis of Human cardiovascular diseases and to develop new diagnosis and therapeutic strategies. This requires high-precision micro technology to study the animals in the best physiological conditions. Implantable wireless biosensors are increasingly being used for solving a wide variety of medical and research challenges to improve research and medical quality. This workshop is focusing on the development of an implantable cardiac telemetry transmitter for long-term 24-hour monitoring ventricular and vascular blood pressure etc in small rodent animals with experimental heart failure and hypertension etc. Master and PhD Students, postdoctoral, academic researcher, and medical doctor are welcome to this workshop. The workshop can only accept max 25 participants. The workshop is supported by a Sino-Swiss Science and Technology Cooperation Institutional partnerships program between CHUV-EPFL in Switzerland and Huazhong University of Science & Technology (HUST) in China.
